Sacrificial Anode Protection System for Pilings and Sheet Piles of Tripoli Port in Lebanon

The sacrificial anode protection system for pilings and sheet piles of Tripoli port(Lebanon) was studied. Optimal average protection current densities were selected for steel pipes/sheet piles of seaside zone, back filled zone and sea mud zone. Based on field test and investigation, it is found that the optimal average protection current density for seaside zone is 0.060 A·m-2, back filled zone 0.030 A·m-2 and sea mud zone 0.025 A·m-2, respectively.
